[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. PP is clueless as well.  There is nothing wrong with a school promoting multi-generational connections.  [/quote]
Except that is has nothing to do with academic achievement.  But ime...if these schools want to have affrmative action to ensure that disadvantaged students can get access to these institutions...then that spills over to legacy and athletics and other criteria that I may not agree with, but these institutions feel is important.[/quote]

You don't know if the student mentioned was academically qualified or not.[/quote]

Not the point.  If they have holistic admissions, they consider factors beyond academic achievements.  For all students, not just this one with grandma brown. [/quote]

It is the point.  If they consider legacy in the holistic admissions process and two students are equally qualified than it serves as a boost.  Brown isn't accepting mouth breathers because grandma brown donated.  If you don't like it no one really cares.[/quote]
